California and Nevada Fish Interests.

California and Nevada Fish Interests.
Fish Commissioners Reuter- and Sher-
wood returned yesterday from their trip to
Tahoe and Truckee, and evidently were
well pleased with what they saw relating
to fish interests. AT meeting of the Com
missioners hereafter action will be taken
concerning certain matters referred to in
the following item, taken from the Truckee
Republican of Saturday:
j. Routier, of Sacramento. and j. +.
Sherwood, of Marysyille, Fish Commits
sioners, have been in this vicinity since last
Thursday investigating the fish interests.
On Thursday they went to Bonner Lake
and caught nice string of trout. The
same afternoon in company with Judge
Cary, Commissioner from Nevada, they
went to Lake Tahoe and took a view of
that magnificent sheet of water They in
spected the new fish hatchery of Captain
Todman at Tahoe City. They found a
well arranged institution which will be
productive of much good. They have
concluded TO allow him to continue opera
tons At McKinney's, Mr. Shelby is
taking spawn for the use of the State
Hatchery near Grass Valley. Three hun
dred and fifty thousand spawn will be
taken from Tahoe for this hatchery. The
parry thth NIOSstu IdDOc anu went 10
Carson, returning by rail to this place
To-day they are inspecting the dams along
the river. Tonight it is proposed to meet
some of the members of the Anglers Asso-
citation at the Truckee Hotel parlors and
talk over the needs of this section in con-
nection with fish. 1t is proposed to appoint
Deputy Commissioner to reside here, who
will see that the fish laws are observed, and
who will attend to the transplaniing of fish
in the neighboring lakes and streams. 1t
will probably be left with the Association
to say who the Deputy will he. The Com
missioners recognize the importance OF this
place as distributing point for fish and a
hatchery may be established here in the
near future. They find that our streams
and lakes contain the finest fish in the
State and speak in high terms of praise of
the advantages we possess for fishing and
fishermen"

The Trinidad Mines .

The English company which not very long ago bought the Trinidad and Sil- yer Queen mines, in Mexico for Sl, ,5OD.- 900, does not seem to be making much of showing. The accounts show that they have spent SlJ0,OOO ID getting out S26,0OO worth of silver. NIT. J. T. Browne, who sold the mine .O the com psny, guaranteed 2O per cent. dividend for five years. After taking JO ,OOO shsres as part of the purchase money, he left the other 5000 ID the hands of the directors as security fer the dividend. Then Browne sold hIs jO.O0O shares about par, and statements were made by the brokers which have been proved incorrect and for which the company were not responsible. The directors are hsuling Mir.
